Email Template

Hi,
I have a new requirement that the standard text mail should be sent out as an HTML Email.
I was thinking of a HTML template which would have "customized tags" which I can replace at run time based on the data from some datasource.
The Email Template should look like:
Dear {FirstName} {LastName},
{Section1}
{Section2}
Thanks and regards,
{SenderName}
The tags between '{}' would be replaced dynamically based on the database values. I have the existsing program running within an EJB. I need to store the HTML content in some place [preferablly deployment descriptors] and then lookup at the information at run time, replace and send email. I am not able to have HTML characters within ejb-jar.xml.
This is one idea. I also though of having a properties file or a local system file to get the data. I am not convinced with these ideas.
Are there any other better approach for this situation?
Kindly advice.
Thanks and regards,
Pazhanikanthan. P

Can no longer select text in email template or read only field with mouse using IE or Firefox?

Hi Guys,
I can no longer select text in email template or read only field using my mouse in IE or Firefox anymore. We are using CRM 2011 rollup 18 applied with IE 11 and the latest version of Firefox. We only applied roll up 18 in Feb when this issue began.
Thanks

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?

I would like to find out how I can setup my Mac Air to allow me to have an email template open up in Outlook instead of Mail when I click on an email address on a website.

Can anyone help me with setting up my Mac Air, to allow me to have an email template open up in Outlook instead of Mail when I click on an email address on a website?

All the limits you mention 100 e-mails at a time and 500 in a four hour time frame are limitations imposed by your mail provider, not Thunderbird. Thunderbird places no restrictions on the maximum number of recipients.
Have you tried turning your computer off for a few minutes?

Problem with links on email templates

Problem with links on email templates
Hi,
We have been having issues with links on our email templates. Some of the links point to the following URL:
http://server'sname/thirdparty/FCKeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=emailTemplatesDTO.htmlBody&Toolbar=NewscaleFCKEditorToolBar#URL
Sometimes we get “Unknown internal error” on the web page.
Can anyone help or advise on how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks,
Wesley.

Hi Wesley,
This is rather late, but we've seen the same thing frequently (and I believe can replicate it). It's caused when you a creating a new email by copying the content of an existing one with a name space in it.
Upon copying, the link gets scrambled. The approach we use is to copy the email in to a new template, then strip out all of the URL links and add them back in.
Thanks!

If/Then Logic in Email Templates (CRM 2015)

Is it possible to use If/Then logic in an email template, so that we can display certain portions of the email template, based on data from the Account record?
If not within CRM, is there an ISV product that performs this function?

Hi Talina,
Functionally, how are these e-mails sent at the moment?
You could achieve this by creating a workflow with your logic, and depending on the If's/Else's, create an e-mail message with the intended templates - then include the info you pretend on these templates.
The workflow would have to run on-demand or triggered by an event on the entities.

Why does my email template appear differently in various email programs?

I have created a CSS-style based email template using Dreamweaver CS6. The template looks great within Dreamweaver, on Internet Explorer and in Outlook 2003. However, when viewed in Outlook 2010, Hotmail and Gmail, the template is distorted. If I set my containers using pixel size, why would it be different when viewed in other email programs?
Here is my code:
<style type="text/css">

Error while entering Long message in Email Template

Hi All,

Thanks

Yes that is right what is mentioned above, first you give the company code and name then give the currency then select address (Shift+F5) and in that if you select country as IN then it will automatically come to master data.

Have you attached the email definition in the Notification tab of the provisioning task?
Also, you need to be sure if the task status was reached to start the email notification.

Custom Alert Email Templates Issue - List Alerts emails not using customized XML alert template

I have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed to a list using the "Alert Me" feature. I
have renamed the custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and
restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list using the "alert me" function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what I did was used a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown in below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When I ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method would get the email without the customizations that were done in the custom template. All users who manually subscribed to the list
using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe would get the custom email alert and why users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the custom email alert?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script do not get the custom email alert.
For your issue, it can be caused by the auto-subscribed alert email which is generated by PowerShell script is using OOTB alert template. You can add the following script into your script for setting
the alerts’ alert email template:
$contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$AlertsTemplateCollection =new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertTemplateCollection($contentService)
$newAlert.AlertTemplate = $AlertsTemplateCollection["YOUR_UNIQUE_TEMPLATE_NAME_VALUE"]

HTML in EMAIL templates

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to embed HTML in an email template. Here is what I am trying to do.
Google
I would like it to appear as Google but it appears as Google <http://www.google.com>
Any ideas?

Hey guys,
I just figured out why the text appears that way. It is because the email client was setup to view email in Rich Text instead of HTML

When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

You can go back by restoreing your backup of the iPhoto library from the previous version a installing the previous version for its original source
Of course I use iPhoto - and I have not idea what
Do you use iPhoto? What version are you using and have you sent photos using it from the iPhoto and used the older templates?
means
one last time if you want help you have to start by being percise and shaing information - for example "older version" is of no help since there are 40 or 50 older versions
again
Sorry but if you have a question then you need to provide information - what are you talking about? What version of iPhoto and what OS version do you have? What upgrade are you talking about? what e-mail client are you using?

Custom Workflow Email Template

Hi All,
We have created a custom email template using components.
At the applicable steps in the WF process we use wfNotify("user","user","CUSTOM_TEMPLATE") to use the cuystom template for email.
The problem we have is that the users then receive 2 emails, the system one and the custom one. Not sure if there is a better way to do this?
We have tried using the <$wfSetIsNotifyingUsers(0)$>to disable the notifications to then send just the custom email one out, which does work, but the issue is that then on the "My Workflow Assignments" Page, the step in the flow doesnt get assigned to that user. The user can still go update from the Active Workflow Page, but not ideal.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thx

I think what you are looking for is a "token" and not just a notification. Assigning the users to a step is different than just notifying a user in a given step. For example, you may want to notify the document's author if something is taking too long to get through workflow but not allow the original author to just push it through themselves. To assign it to that person you'd create a token and then add that token to the step. The documentation should be about to help you out with creating the token. If not, just post another question.
As a side note: at Fishbowl Solutions we've created a series of components that help you with some of these workflow problems and put them into a product we call Workflow Solution Set. One of those components enables you to more easily customize the workflow notifications that get sent out to users. You can find more information on our website.

Email templates using data from iWork Numbers spreadsheet

As a photographer, when I get a call from a client to book a shoot, my first step is to open my bookings spreadsheet in Apple's Numbers and input the client's info into pre-determined columns: name, phone number, job date, job scheduled arrival time, job address, job city, travel distance, details regarding the shoot, and then I have a list of columns that specify costs (cost for work, taxes, travel, etc--automatically calculated via functions in spreadsheet).
Immediately after I insert this information into the bookings spreadsheet, I open another file (a text file)--a text template I created to confirm bookings--and fill in the blanks using the information from the spreadsheet. Once that info has been filled out, I copy and paste the entire text file into an an email and email it to the client for his confirmation/records. The email template text (txt) file I use is included below.
Question: Is it possible to create a script that will read the specified row in my Numbers booking spreadsheet (ie, the row where I input the information in the spreadsheet) and have the information inserted into the separate text confirmation template (apple pages or text or email?) at specified areas within the text? If so, can someone help me make something like this? Here's the template I use:
Hi clientnamehere

Let's begin with your first question:
I've tried to change the "Template.txt" file into an rtf so that I can apply bolding and underlining to certain sections (ie, bolding to the entries like client_name, job_date, etc... and underlining to the "Steps"), and I changed the script from Template.txt to Template.rtf to reflect this change... but when I run a script I get a bug... is there any way to use an rtf file in place of the txt?
The following script should work with an RTF file, provided you don't mind using [GUI Scripting|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html] (in blue below). Before running the script, you will have to enable the Accessibility Frameworks by clicking the checkbox labeled "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access System Preference pane.

How to use/import CM Tags in html email templates?

Hi guys
I would like to start designing html email templates and send mailings for my clients. Can anyone tell me how I can easily insert CM tags so that the template will be easily adapted to the content of the certain email in the email manager like Campagin Monitor?
Thanks!
Bob

Hi Nancy O.
I would like to design my own templates and instantly insert the right tags and so, so that I can import the templates to websites like Campaign Monitor and my clients can open templates when sending new mailsings.
The goal is to have my own designed templates for my clients with their layouts which they can use for their mailings. Also extending the newsletter (adding new article fields) should be possible etc.
Can you tell me what codes I need and what I should pay attention to in order to design nice templates that will appear correctly in nearly each mailbox?
Thanks in advance!
